The people of Vermillion fought aggressively against attempted Imperial assaults, to the point that Aubrey requested a cease-fire. The meeting took place in a holy site with Vermillion's highest cleric upon the delegation, after negotiations soured the cleric cursed Aubreys name and invoked the "Black Guardians of the Underworld to take him as they had taken all other would be conquerors". The Zealots hadn't been the first legion to make first contact with the species that would be called "Necrons.", but they were the first to meet them in combat outside of their supposed territory. After a swift retreat the Legion decided to liberate the planet from their puppet masters, The Necron tomb was destroyed by Varus Tithonus with assistance from an Eldar farseer.

The faces of the men lost during the campaign were immortalised, death masks being placed upon the helms of the legionaries who replaced them, thus giving the third order the title of; "The Immortals."		*'''The Paros Devastation'''.

	Following their fall to Chaos, the Eternal Zealots regressed to their days of barbarism and violence.

All opposition to the Zealots would be violently crushed, their enemies beheaded to serve as warnings for those who would not submit. They were no longer guardians of humanity, but consorted with daemons and heretics and xenos, bringing the vileness of the warp into reality.

	~~==Notable Domains==~~		*'''Lazarus'''. Lazarus was a warm world of great deserts, sweltering jungles and open savannahs lapped by sun-kissed seas. The emerging Lazarite civilisation took great pride in their architecture, constructing beautiful crystal spires as part of their planetary communication network. Surrounding Lazarus was a thin planetary ring, the remnant of several ancient moons colliding together in the distant past. It was often used as cover by raiders approaching the planet, and later several star-forts of the Legion were secreted within the Ring to defend the planet, though they would be overrun during the Lazarus Rebellion and turned on the forces of the Imperium. Serpents were highly important to Lazarite beliefs, considered symbols of immortality and warrior prowess. The greatest Lazarite commanders hunted the great Snakes to prove their prowess, and those that killed one would wear its skin as a cloak as a symbol of their skill and authority.

However, Aubrey’s Legion Grand Mentor, Zachery Irisus, stood against Aubrey and his heresy. Grand Mentor Irisus had tolerated his primarch’s transgressions for many months, but could no longer ignore the corruption that Aubrey had invited into the midst of the Zealots. As by legion tradition, Aubrey and his Grand Mentor faced off in a duel to the death, a battle of honour. The fight was mercifully short, the primarch forcing his son down to his knees before decapitating him. With the last opposition to his plans silenced, and the first blood of the Heresy drawn, the lord of the XVIth legion spoke to his sons, heralding a new age that would shake the Imperium to its core.

Since the XVI legion’s earliest days as the Emerald Doom, they have been fanatically devoted to the Imperial Truth. The Sixteenth Squad of the Sacred Band served as the Emperor’s falling hammer, destroying all false religions and superstition that would hold humanity back. This practice continued with the discovery of their primarch Aubrey the Grey. Aubrey saw the Imperial Truth as a logical extension of his dreams of a united galaxy and pushed his legion to further embody those ideals. Under the able guidance of Aubrey, the fangs of the Emerald Doom were tempered. The Eternal Zealots were surgical and precise, excising the cancers of corruption from the heart of the Imperium.

			In spite of their viciousness in prosecuting campaigns, the Eternal Zealots often showcased a more humanitarian side after the cessation of combat. The Zealots would selflessly provide newly pacified worlds with men and material, to assist in the rebuilding process. Particular care was taken to ensure that the new worlds of the Imperium were well-versed in science, medicine and humanities.
